Log Cabin Republicans, a gay political action group, is in "ongoing" discussions with Mitt Romney's campaign and the Republican National Committee on a variety of issues, said the group's director, which most likely includes same-sex marriage and employment discrimination policies. The group will be meeting over the summer to determine whether to endorse Romney prior to the GOP convention.
"I can't confirm the details of our conversations because they are of a 'private nature,'" the group's Deputy Executive Director Christian Berle told The Christian Post. "We're in ongoing conversations with the Romney campaign and the RNC on the issues that are important to gay Republicans."
Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Times reported that Log Cabin Republicans founder Rich Tafel said that "I think he (Romney) does oppose gay marriage, but the speed with which he jumped on and rode that issue struck me as political." During Romney's 1994 campaign for U.S. Senate, the candidate had written to the Massachusetts chapter of Log Cabin Republicans to voice his support of full equality for LGBT citizens. But after taking office as Massachusetts governor in 2003, Romney said he disagreed with the state's Supreme Court's "Goodrich" ruling, which says same-sex marriage is protected in the state's constitution.
"I disagree with the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts," then Gov. Romney said in 2003. "Marriage is an institution between a man and a woman. I will support an amendment to the Massachusetts constitution to make this expressly clear." …
While Berle was mum about details of the "ongoing" conversations with the Romney campaign and RNC, one likely issue might be adding openly gay individuals to the Romney campaign staff. Yet on Tuesday, gay activist Richard Grenell, who was helping with foreign policy issues, announced he was leaving the Romney campaign. …

excuse me, I don’t feel so good
Now he is negotiating with perverts ... yet another reason he will never get my vote.
“I’ll be better for gays than Obama.”

Now he is negotiating with perverts ... yet another reason he will never get my vote.
Mitt’s not negotiating with the perverts, they’re on the same side. They’re holding strategy meetings.
The GOP should change their name to the Neo Democrats.
The republican party platform will no doubt be written with a distinct lisp......
.
OK, strategizing with perverts ... better?
They think they need to court the gay vote to win:
They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” - (Genesis 19:5)
We already know how this story ends.
Yep!
>>The GOP should change their name to the Neo Democrats.
The Dems should change their name to Progressives.
The GOP should change their name to Progressives.
The People should change their name to Militia.
Who gives a shit what the Log Cabin Perverts do? They faded into obscurity years ago, with GOProud taking the limelight. And what’s to “discuss”? Does Romney really think he will get the double-gated vote no matter what he promises? they are (ahem) hard left, and always will be. Pathetic.
OK, strategizing with perverts ... better?
I think that is more accurate but far worse. If it’s Obama’s job to make people miss Carter, it’s Mitt’s job to make us miss Ford.
Romney is a liberal and has catered to them in the past but now that it looks like he’s the GOP nominee for president, I don’t think there is anyway in hell he would ever come out in support of sodomite marriage. The Morman Church would disown him. The are adamantly opposed to it as they rightly should be.
He appears to be quite unfamiliar with Republican party history concerning gays IN THE PARTY ~ they were used to defeat us in 2006 ~ it wasn't all Bush "bush" eh!
Actually, Romney appears to be unfamiliar with the Republican party ~ even though he served 4 years as the "token Republican Governor of Massachusetts'.
Good one. LOL!
Mitt Romney ladies and gentlemen.
All the brains and half the charm of Joe Biden.
Ed Gillespie, that's who!
